Infants and toddlers who are diagnosed with developmental

Infants and toddlers who are diagnosed with developmental delays and need early intervention services will receive an Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP). An IFSP identifies the early intervention supports and services infants and toddlers with developmental delays need to catch up. When children turn three the transition can be made to an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) or a 504 Plan if it is warranted. If a student moves to an IEP, preschool services are covered and goals and objectives to address each child’s specific needs and support kindergarten readiness are created. The ability to facilitate clear discussions with families about the implementation of an IFSP and the changes that can occur as students transition to an IEP or 504 Plan, is a critical skill for early childhood special educators.

Complete the “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)” template that outlines key elements of the IFSP, IEP, and 504 Plan for an audience of families.
